Jimmy,
KAC had a rifle that competed. Lots of companies did. There were specs- some didn't meet reliability and some didn't meet accuracy. HK won.
It's well past time that conventional Army snipers had a portable 16in 7.62 gas gun.
Idon't think they liked knights that much. The rediculous thing is an American company could not come up with a winner. It's a frighten ar 10. That is unique by its parts. It's a wonder the army doesn't just pick the parts they want and build thes themselves

I agree 100%
I shot Knight's 16" version of their M110 a number of years back, and discussed the fact while at Knights, that it was exactly what was needed for the typical missions that were being conducted in the M.E., to include PSD.
Couple the shorter rifles with optics that are actually reliable, and track properly will make for a system that has long been needed. Guys in the field have seen some pretty significant improvements in the quality of gear in the last few years, for sure.
